Doom and Gloom - Old Hag

In the dead of night while the peaceful sleep
In through my window demons creep
While all are lost in sleeps embrace
With nightmares I come face to face

The waves of fear wash calm away
Rational thought is led astray
This is the thing I fear the most
Haunted by this shadow ghost

This devil crawls across my floor
A shapeless form that I abhor
I see those eyes so deep and old
I feel the touch so dead and cold

With open eyes and muffled pleas
Besieged by evil no one sees
Paralysed with fear & dread
Alone and helpless in my bed

For some the night time offers dreams
For others only tortured screams
For sleep is just a slice of death
A taste before your final breath

Doom and Gloom
